Texture Coordinates in Shader Editor

[Andyb431]

Hi guys,

I am trying to replicate a scene from an artist I follow on Instagram (for practice, of course), and he uses a technique to slice through the train after it passes the edge of the platform:



I have a vehicle which is a collection as it's made up of many different parts, so this method would greatly simplify the slicing process rather than booleaning everything.

Unfortunately, I don't see any options for texture coordinate extraction or math operators in the Octane menus. Is this a limitation of the plug-in, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks in advance!

Andy

Very interested in this. Saw something similar with a strawberry some time ago.

Can you use the clipping material? "Boolean everything" should be relatively straightforward, put a big box at the end of the platform with a clipping material and everything entering this box will be clipped away.

Yeah, the clipping Material is definitely the way to go.
